My family and I participated in the event, and to say the least we were disappointed. The taste we went looking for was more expensive than getting lunch just about anywhere. 3 dollars for fries, 5 dollars for a couple of ribs and 2 dollars for a drink. This 5 and under pricing only allowed us to sample a couple of vendors with the money we had allowed for the event. The final straw in our disappointment was the large kids rides that cost one dollar each turn down the slide, and kids who want nothing more than to continue to go on them. This was rediculous for those who are budget conscious and still want to enjoy events like this. We would have felt much better about the money spent if smaller portions were available for a lower cost so we would have been able to sample more different things. The one saving grace for the event is that at least 1/5 of the money we spent goes to a worthy cause. Sincerely, Not attending in the future.
